Main Street in Moose Jaw was packed with screaming fans on Sunday as the team made their way through the parade dedicated to their first ever appearance at the Memorial Cup.

Warriors Captain Denton Mateychuk told CTV News that despite coming up just a little short, the team felt like it accomplished something truly great.
